We study the structure of the normal matrix model (NMM). We show that all correlation functions of the model with axially symmetric potentials can be expressed in terms of holomorphic functions of one variable. This observation is used to…
We consider the Topological String/Spectral theory duality on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds obtained from the resolution of the cone over the $Y^{N,0}$ singularity. Assuming Kyiv formula, we demonstrate this duality in a special regime thanks…
We compute various correlation functions at the planar level in a simple supersymmetric matrix model, whose scalar potential is in shape of a double-well. The model has infinitely degenerate vacua parametrized by filling fractions \nu_\pm…
We classify the complementary vectors of doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes. This proves a conjecture of Swartz, negatively answers a question of Athanasiadis and Tzanaki, and gives new bounds on the number of independent sets in a matroid.…
In the past we have considered Gaussian random matrix ensembles in the presence of an external matrix source. The reason was that it allowed, through an appropriate tuning of the eigenvalues of the source, to obtain results on non-trivial…
We study the partition function of both Close-Packed Dimers and the Critical Ising Model on a square lattice embedded on a genus two surface. Using numerical and analytical methods we show that the determinants of the Kasteleyn adjacency…
A well-known connection between n strings winding around a circle and permutations of n objects plays a fundamental role in the string theory of large N two dimensional Yang Mills theory and elsewhere in topological and physical string…
We investigate unoriented strings and superstrings in two dimensions and their dual matrix quantum mechanics. Most of the models we study have a tachyon tadpole coming from the RP^2 worldsheet which needs to be cancelled by a…
The paper contains some new results and a review of recent achievements, concerning the multisupport solutions to matrix models. In the leading order of the 't Hooft expansion for matrix integral, these solutions are described by…
Recently a powerful duality between color and kinematics has been proposed for integrands of scattering amplitudes in quite general gauge theories. In this paper the duality proposal is extended to the more general class of gauge theory…
We define supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary two-dimensional lattice (polygon decomposition) with preserving one supercharge. When a smooth Riemann surface $\Sigma_g$ with genus $g$ emerges as an appropriate continuum limit of…
The dissipative Hofstadter model describes the quantum mechanics of a charged particle in two dimensions subject to a periodic potential, uniform magnetic field, and dissipative force. Its phase diagram exhibits an SL(2,Z) duality symmetry…
Higher dimensional generalisations of self-duality conditions and of theta angle terms are analysed in Yang-Mills theories. For the theory on a torus, the torus metric and various antisymmetric tensors are viewed as coupling constants…
We formulate N-fold supersymmetry in quantum mechanical systems with reflection operators. As in the cases of other systems, they possess the two significant characters of N-fold supersymmetry, namely, almost isospectrality and weak…
We consider duality transformations in N=2, d=4 Yang--Mills theory coupled to N=2 supergravity. A symplectic and coordinate covariant framework is established, which allows one to discuss stringy `classical and quantum duality symmetries'…
The four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory with two anticommuting charges is naturally formulated on K\"ahler manifolds. By using a superspace approach we clarify the structure of the Faddeev-Popov sector and determine the total…
We study the spectrum of BPS states in N=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. This theory has been proposed to describe M-theory on T^3 in the discrete light-cone formalism. We find that the degeneracy of irreducible BPS bound states in…
Many eigenvalue matrix models possess a peculiar basis of observables which have explicitly calculable averages. This explicit calculability is a stronger feature than ordinary integrability, just like the cases of quadratic and Coulomb…
This article reviews some results of the SAGEX programme that have developed in the understanding of the interplay of supersymmetry and modular covariance of scattering amplitudes in type IIB superstring theory and its holographic image in…
We consider the spectrum of transfer matrix eigenvalues associated with Polyakov loops in lattice QCD at strong coupling. The transfer matrix at finite density is non-Hermitian, and its eigenvalues become complex as a manifestation of the…
